When even Icelanders tell you a region in their nation perched at the top of the world is remote, it's time to go exploring. The Westfjords are only about a five hour drive from Reykjavik but once you arrive, it's navigating the ins and outs of the spindly fjords that becomes time consuming. You won't mind the drive though. Catch your breath vistas are promised around every hairpin turn up and down the cliff sides overlooking the pristine raging sea below.
